Disney's adaptation of J.M. Barrie's stageplay Peter Pan, Or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up is a classic that doesn't quite hold up compared to today's flashy animated films.
It's beautifully animated with strong voice acting and filled with all sorts of colorful characters but doesn't quite have enough flair to really stand out. With it's themes of growing up, responsibility and eternal recurrence, the story might not immediately click with the kids but will certainly fascinate those in it for the storytelling. There's several moments of questionable sexism and racism, so be prepared to fast forward or explain it to the little ones.
